First Radio Parish Church of America (FRPCA) is a trademarked non-profit 501-c3 organization. We are an ecumenical religious organization, governed by an ecumenical Board of Trustees. Our annual budget is approximately $125,000 per year, or about $10,000 per month. This amount covers all of our expenses in a given year, including salaries for 1 & 1/2 people, maintenance of two offices, a newsletter sent to 4,000 people monthly, an annual financial review by a CPA firm, the cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment for radio recording, television script preparation, web site maintenance, and other routine expenses.

All of the TV broadcast and TV production costs are given as gifts from WCSH6-TV. These may amount to at much as $800,000 per year in total. We are eternally grateful WCSH. The operations budget of FRPCA (minus the TV broadcast and production) are funds we raise on our own through the support of generous donors like yourself. Although FRPCA and WCSH have been associated with each other since 1926, they are completely seperate organizations with no other tie than good faith.

Copies of our budget and details of our finances can be obtained by contacting us and requesting a free copy of our most recent audit and/or a free copy of the "Annual Report." You may write to us at Daily Devotions, One Congress Square, Portland, Maine 04101 or phone us at 207-523-2945.

Most of our financial support comes from individuals and churches who have become acquainted with our ministry via radio, television, or the internet, and who wish to be supportive of our efforts to share Good News through the media. We also receive support from interest on our modest endowment fund. The remainder of our support comes from bequests and from miscellaneous sources.

Over the years there have been extended periods when we have had to rely on the dreaded use of spending endowment principle because our income did not match our expenses. Thanks to you and your donations, we have made a financial turn-around and we are trying to rebuild our Endowment while just meeting our daily needs.

We are still working hard seeking other sources of income to meet our budgetary needs and to increase our endowment fund.

We welcome inquiries about our financial support and budget. We are also pleased to share information regarding membership in "The New Generation Society." Membership requires that you participate in some form of planned giving regarding FRPCA. The majority of "New Generation Society" members have included FRPCA in their "last will and testament." Other options are also available. Please contact us with questions or comments.
